Having problems with your Sanyo Digital Cameras ?

I have a Sanyo Xactiphoto and video camera. I fear I have lost 8 Gig of pictures, however, it may be there but I am not accessing it correctly. I know I used up all the memory and I get a message on activating the camera telling me something like 'star two the internal memory". Is it possible that the card is full and the camera has reverted to the internal memory? If so, how do I retrieve the data on the card? Thanks. Nick

Answers :

You can check the contents of the card by inserting it into a computer's card reader (cheap to purchase if needed). This will confirm if there is any data on the card.

First, format the internal memory with your memory card out of the camera. Then, go into the setup menu and scroll to "reset" and follow the on-screen instructions. Put your memory card back in the camera. It should work after that. ...

When I install a memory card in my camera I get the message read only memory card, remove write protection to capture or write to card. The switch on the memory card is in the correct position, this is a card that I have been using with no problems until now. I also installed a brand new memory card and got the same message. I think there's a problem internally with the camera.

Internal Memory I have a couple pics on the internal memory of the camera, Ide like to put on my memory card. Is this possible? I know I could load it to the comp with a usb cord, the problem is I think my hubbs accidently threw out the box not knowing the cord was still in it. I have memory cards and a memory card reader I use to load pics to my comp. But I cannot figure out how to load the internal memory, to my memory card so that it can be loaded to the comp. Thanks for the help!

When I turn on my DMC LZ10 and try to take a picture (on any setting) I get message: "Memory card full" - I have three good memory cards that work in other cameras and they are unlocked- but same message occurs with any, so it seems something is not right with the camera itself, Or I am not doing something right....any advice greatly appreciated.

I've gone into the owners manual for your camera and respectfully disagree with Panasonic's faults idea that you don't have to format the media card. Formatting the camera SD memory card is what you need to do. Any new memory card or any memory card ...

I have a Kodak easyshare m320 which I recieved today. I bought an SD card to go with it because the internal memory is really small. Near the card port, it says it accepts SD cards, and it also says this on the manual, but the card I bought for it is not being read by the camera. I can put the card in my computer and it works fine, though, so I don't know what the problem is. Do I need to do something to my camera in order to make it use the card rather than internal memory?

First, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, insert the card and do the "format" thing again to optimize the card for the camera. Now, it should work pro ...

Hey.
I bought a new camera some days ago with a new Digix 4gb SDHC memory card. I went to Disney World and took normally a lot of pictures. From one moment to another, the camera gives me the message "Memory card error" and won't let me take nor view pictures. I tried removing the memory card and everything. I checked and It isn't locked or something.
Also, I tried using a memory card reader on my laptop, and it says I have to format to read the card.
I REALLY don't want to lose the pic

The first thing that may be complicating things is, can your laptop read SDHC cards, or just SD cards? If the laptop is asking you to format it, then probably it's working, but be really sure, before you continue.Check the co ...

I have an Olympus FE-340 digital camera. About a week ago I got a message that my memory card was full after I had deleted all of the photos in the memory. As soon as the camera was turned on it said, "Memory full." I thought it was a problem with the card so I planned to replace it, meanwhile I was using internal memory. It now says "Memory full" and there is nothing stored on the camera. Is there any way to fix this?

Internal Memory?? Hello, I just received an E-500 as a gift and would like to know if you must use a memory card with it. My previous camera was a Kodak and you could either use the internal memory or a card. Which card do you all suggest i purchase? Is there one that is better than the other?

The E-500 has no internal storage. As per dpreview it will accept CF and xD-Picture cards. xD-Picture is slower, more expensive, less compatible, and ...

My finepix A825 has a problem where it seems to default to internal memory. After taking 3 or 4 pictures it states the internal memory is full.

My DX7630 still takes photos on internal memory but will not read memory cards or transfer internal memory to a card! I still like this camera and am familiar with it.

Olympus D-435
Our camera has been working fine until last week when we started getting this error message - memory full on a blue screen when we had taken only one photo (and deleted all previous photos). Thinking there was a problem with the memory card, we removed it and used only the camera's internal memory which worked for a short while - allowing us to take 12 shots - but now it will only let us take 1 shot before giving us the error message. Is there anything I can do? Many thanks

You can try updating the firmware of the camera since this is not a problem with the memory card its with the camera itself you can check Olympus web site for software update on this.Hope that helps....... ...

Memory card error is the message that is coming up on the screen, which means I cannot take any pictures, as the internal memory is full with three pictures. I have tried to format the camera, but the same error message is coming up. I have also tried a new SD card, but it will not clear the error. If anybody can help, It would be much appreciated. Davy from Scotland.

Are you formatting the camera or the memory card? You should do both. Also, make sure of the position of the slide switch on the side of the card. ...

I have an Panasonic DMC-FX7 Lumix camera. I went to Kinkos so they could download the pictures on to a CD-rom, they tried their scan disk and it was not working. When I tried to look at the pictures in my camera I received a memory card error stating would I like to format. I did not do anything in fear of erasing valuable, precious, irreplaceable photos of my daughter, family and friends. I also tried using the memory card on my scandisk on my computer and the message received was unreadabl

Hi, I have a Canon Power Shot S2 IS 5.0 megapixels that was working fine until one day I changed the memory card from 512MB to a 1GB.
Now every time I turn the camera on and try to take a picture, a beeping sound and a legend on the LCD screen that reads: Memory card error.
It's like something locked the shutter mechanism.
I tried other memory cards with the same results.
Thanks, Roger.
